A fractal analytical model for Kozeny-Carman constant and permeability of roughened porous media composed of particles and converging-diverging capillaries

Boqi Xiao et al.

Summary: This study investigates the seepage of particles in porous media and proposes a novel fractal model for the Kozeny-Carman constant and dimensionless permeability of roughened porous media. The model considers structural parameters such as porosity, fractal dimensions, relative roughness, and fluctuation amplitude of capillary cross-section size. The results show that increasing fluctuation amplitude leads to an increase in the Kozeny-Carman constant and a decrease in dimensionless permeability. Furthermore, the proposed model is validated by experimental data and can provide a theoretical basis for various practical applications in petroleum engineering and the fuel-cell industry.

Turbulence Characteristics in Mild and Steep Entrance Slopes of Pool-Riffle Sequences

Negar Soltani et al.

Summary: This study investigates the distributions of velocity and Reynolds stress in an artificial pool-riffle sequence for two entrance slopes in a laboratory and compares the results with a similar sequence in a gravel-bed river. The results show that the velocity distribution follows different patterns and the entrance slope influences the location of the maximum value of Reynolds stress and the flow separation zone length. The agreement between laboratory and field results will help river engineers to better manage fluvial processes and decrease project costs.

Effects of Channel Width Variations on Turbulent Flow Structures in the Presence of Three-Dimensional Pool-Riffle

Sanaz Hadian et al.

Summary: Changes in channel or river width have significant impacts on river engineering and flow resistance. Studying the effect of width changes on flow structures helps control erosion and sedimentation in coarse-bed rivers and improve ecological restoration projects' design. The study investigated the effect of sequential pool-riffle and bank narrowness on turbulent flow characteristics through experimental research in variable and fixed width flumes. The findings showed that the flow depth increase expanded negative and low longitudinal velocities, and entering the middle part of the pool reduced the flow width. The maximum turbulence intensity and Reynolds shear stress were higher in variable width mode compared to fixed width mode. Understanding flow patterns and velocity distribution in variable width streams enhances engineers' ability to estimate controlling parameters in river restoration and improve hydraulic models' performance.

Flow structure investigation over a pool-riffle sequence in a variable width river

Ehsan Shahiri Tabarestani et al.

Summary: This study conducted a field investigation in the Babolroud River in Iran to examine the flow characteristics. The results showed that pool-riffle sequences significantly impact the flow characteristics and turbulence intensity. The findings highlight the importance of studying flow characteristics in natural channels with bedforms for river management projects.

Assessment of Annual Erosion and Sediment Yield Using Empirical Methods and Validating with Field Measurements-A Case Study

Ehsan Shahiri Tabarestani et al.

Summary: This study investigated the erosion intensity and sedimentation rate of the Babolroud watershed using empirical models and validated their accuracy through field measurements. The results showed that the modified Pacific Southwest Inter-Agency Committee (MPSIAC) and the erosion potential method (EPM) models provided good accuracy compared to field measurements, while the Fournier method was not effective in considering erosion potential.
